restricting you from being wild with your fashion lines and styles… guess what?

Tips on how to learn walking in high heel
shoes as a beginner.

The thicker heel, the easier it is to walk on
it

In general, the
thinner the heel, the harder it’ll be to balance on it, so when you’re still
getting used to walking in high heels, choose thicker, sturdier heels, which
will give the foot more stability and give you more confidence.

Place your heel on the ground first

High heels don’t just
make you walk taller; they also force you to walk differently. In flats,
sneakers or flip flops, your full foot hits the ground more or less at the same
time. In heels, however – and particularly in very high heels – this method
won’t only feel uncomfortable and awkward; it’ll look like that, too. Instead,
you need to adapt the way you walk so that your heel comes into contact with
the ground first, followed by the rest of the foot. This might take a bit of
getting used to, which brings me to my next point…

Practice. Then practice some more.

If you’re not used to
walking in high heels, it’ll feel very unnatural and awkward the first time you
try it. And if you simply give up after that, and don’t try again for a few
months or years, it’ll feel awkward and unnatural the NEXT time you try it,
too… and the time after that, and the time after that. Practice is the key, and
as silly as it might sound, you might find it useful to try to practice in
front of a mirror (or get someone to film you, even): sometimes being able to
see yourself walk will help you identify anything you’re doing wrong, and work
out what you need to change. I know a lot of people who think they can’t walk
in high heels because they’ve tried it a couple of times, found it tricky, and
given up. Obviously no one is born knowing how to walk in high heels – when you
think about it, it’s a really un-natural thing to do, so it makes sense that
you might have to train yourself to do it!

Baby steps

I’m not still talking
about practicing, or working your way up here, I mean literally take baby
steps. Like it or not, you can’t really stride or run in heels (well, you can,
and once you know how to walk in high heels, running in them won’t seem like a
big deal, but you’re probably going to want to wait until you’ve mastered the
“walking” bit first!), and if you try to march along with your arms swinging by
your sides, it might look a little bit unnatural. Again, being able to see
yourself in a mirror will really help with this, and you should instantly be
able to see what looks natural, and what doesn’t. In general, though, try to
take smaller, slower steps than you would in lower shoes and don’t try to run
before you can walk!

Relax

A lot of women have a
tendency to hold themselves very stiffly when they’re learning how to walk in
high heels. This is partly because of the different way your body moves in
heels (your might think your feet and legs are doing all the work, but your
lower back and abdomen are working hard too, and are often the first places
you’ll feel the strain if you’ve been overdoing it), of course, but it’s also
natural to stiffen up if you’re feeling off-balance. Try to relax: not only
will it look more natural, it’ll also be more comfortable, and make you less
likely to hurt yourself.

Slow
It Down

Heels aren’t worn in
gym class for a reason, so take your time when you’re walking in them.
“Wearing heels naturally makes your stride shorter, so you’ll need to take
more steps than usual. Just like most of the fashion gurus will advise “Don’t
expect to be able to walk as fast as you normally do when you are not in your high
heels shoes.”
